October 1, 2013 — The head of Loblaws told the seafood industry on Monday that the grocery chain is on track with its plans to only sell sustainable fish products by the end of 2013.
Galen G. Weston, the executive chair of Loblaw Cos. Ltd., made the announcement at the 2013 World Seafood Congress, which is being held in St. John's.
"We've discontinued at-risk species, such as orange roughy, shark, skate, and American red snapper," he said during a presentation.
Loblaws plans to reach or be very near its goal by the end of 2013.
Weston said producers can either get on board or be dropped by Loblaws.
